Oxidised Jewellery is the new trend. Every heroine with her ethnic dress wears oxidized jewellery.
What is this oxidized German silver jewellery made of? Is it real silver? These are the few questions that come into the minds of many. I have come with the solutions to these questions along with introducing oxidized jewellery designs in earrings, necklace, nosepins etc.
What is German oxidized silver:
German silver, name for various alloys of copper, zinc, and nickel, sometimes also containing lead and tin. They were originally named for their silver-white color, but use of the term silver is now prohibited for alloys not containing that metal. German silver varies in composition, the percentage of the three elements ranging approximately as follows: copper, from 50% to 61.6%; zinc, from 19% to 17.2%; nickel, from 30% to 21.1%. The proportions are always specified in commercial alloys. German silver is extensively used because of its hardness, toughness, and resistance to corrosion.
Oxidised Jewellery:
Oxidised jewellery create a beautiful look with anything you team it up with. They look equally stunning in sarees as they do with jeans. Here are the options that should be in your oxidized jewelry look book.
Oxidised Earrings
The oxidized/silver jhumkas trend has caught on like wild fire. This enhances your look and brings out the beauty within on both modern fancy sarees or traditional cotton sarees. It looks completely divine. These silver jhumkas can be paired with almost any ethnic outfits like anarkali suits, lehengas, cotton sarees etc.
Oxidised Necklaces
Oxidized jewelry has taken a new avatar with the neck piece trend. They come in a variety of options. Ranging from threads of color with a simple pendant to beautiful chokers to chunky boho jewelry the options will blow your mind away. Again all these options are a perfect ten on ten with Indian wear and western wear alike!! The silver is mixed with lace, threads and stones to create a multitude of colors too!!
The Nose Studs and Rings
Are you tired of the gold and diamond nose studs you have been sporting for a while now? Tell you what, trend has changed. The silver fancy nose studs and pins are the sensation now. The nose studs with their very unique craftsmanship is a must have! They have small stones embedded too for that “oh so wow” look.
Oxidised Bangles
When we talk about jewellry one of the first things that comes to mind is bangles. Apart from the regular glass and gold ones the oxidized and silver bangles look lovely and especially with denims, salwar suits and those gorgeous cotton indo-westerns. They give you a very smart and trendy look!!
